Can Anyone Else View This News Page Link With Your iPad ?

This is a link to a Chinese Canadian newspaper. It's a scanned copy made available to the public. Needless to say, I was unable to view it with the latest iPad at a Best Buy.

Is it safe to assume that this page cannot be viewed because it requires a flash plugin ?

...it appears that the link does not show on my iPad. Not sure if the link is broken or not.

Thanks Skimonkey -

the link opens OK using my PC and a Surface RT.

Here's a screenshot of it. By the looks of the toolbars highlighted with yellow at the bottom, it appears to be flash based.

Have you tried to use one of the browser that is available to help view flash material?

Have a look a that this thread for browsers that support flash...

A million thanks.

I was planning to give my mom a Surface RT, but now that I know the iPad accepts chinese handwriting input and her favorite newspaper is viewable, I'm going with the iPad.
